Women in Tech Miami Event💗
Lucky to be able to call these women friends and to be part of a community where I get to not only feel inspired, but hopefully inspire others too. Loved seeing so many friends and meeting so many new ladies in the Miami tech scene.

“The lifestyle of an entrepreneur at its core is: I can take more pain than the other guy, and I'll prove it.”
“ There's a zen that can happen when a warrior has fought for a long time. You can get used to it.”
“ You almost start accepting it. Like, something bad happens and you don't even get mad.”
“ There are benefits. But you need to make sure you don't get so used to it that it doesn't even bother you. You can get so zen, you're unbothered.”
“ There's something special about the extra fierceness of being bothered, being upset about something that is wrong.”

Comparison is the poison ☠️ of this era
- I can not believe how many spend their time tearing down other people, other projects, seemingly not really, but they deem competitors and everything else
And then ….
They wonder why they aren’t getting love

Distribution is everything and word of mouth is one of the hardest growth loops to manufacture.
You can buy clicks. You can’t buy people genuinely wanting to tell their friends.
Just two months in, over 80% of Symphony users have come through word of mouth while our user retention has increased to 99.3%.
And we’re doing it on @arbitrum, using onchain rails to build a financial platform that reaches users all over the world.
Finding product-market fit onchain starts before you build.
Before building @symphonyio, @vivaldi0x and team talked to the people they wanted to build for, figured out distribution and what would make it worth talking about.
Two months after launch, 80% of their users came from friends telling friends.

The Scenic Route is back, and this time we’re taking it to Roosevelt Island with a special guest.
Our CEO & Co-Founder, @vivaldi0x, is joined by travel creator CJ to talk about quitting jobs to travel, spending time in Hawaii, chasing new experiences, and slightly overselling their surfing skills.

Save more. Travel more. Download today.

Think of it like "a high yield savings account" but with points instead of cash.
@vivaldi0x of @symphonyio tells @JD_Durkin as sports betting has grown 300% in three years, the platform is making saving exciting through gamification to incentivize healthier financial habits.

Why has spending seen decades of innovation while saving has been left behind?
In this roundtable, Symphony’s co-founders sit down to discuss why they believe it’s time to change that.
They dive into the future of saving, travel rewards, wealth building, why our generation faces a different financial reality, and the thinking behind building Symphony.

Credit cards made spending feel rewarding.
We’re making saving feel rewarding.
Proud to work with @Alchemy to make onchain complexity invisible, so users can simply save, earn a fixed 5% APY in cash, points, or both, and redeem across our 15+ global travel partners.
The future of consumer crypto won’t feel like crypto.
Read to learn how this is possible 👇
Every credit card pays you to spend more.
@symphonyio built the opposite: a savings app that pays you to save. With a fixed 5% APY that can be earned in cash, credit-card-style points, or a mix of both. Users can redeem their points for flights, hotels, upgrades, and experiences across several major global airline and hotel partners.
The catch? Doing it onchain without users ever touching crypto.
Here's how 👇

Ready to start earning more from your savings?
Join Lilly as she walks you through the app, highlights the key features, and shows you how to start earning a fixed 5% APY in cash, points, or any mix of both.
Start earning points for saving, not spending.

Credit cards spent decades convincing us that the best rewards come from spending more.
We think it’s time saving was rewarded too. That’s exactly why we built Symphony.
Appreciate the thoughtful review, John Pham
& @themoneyninja.
We’re sharing just a few excerpts here.

If you’re a points enthusiast, a frequent traveler, or simply want your savings to work harder, it’s worth the read. And if you’re interested in joining the Symphony Strategic Creator Program, send us a DM.

Big things brewing at @noon_capital 🌙
→ New partnership with @symphonyio — Noon now powers Symphony's fixed 5% APY through its market-leading yield infrastructure, bringing high, safe returns to everyday savers.
→ sUSN sitting at 9.20% APY with TVL up to $36.48M.
→ And the team capped it off with a legendary château offsite. Touching grass, brainstorming hard, and laying the foundations for what's next in DeFi.
Proud to be building with Noon.

The financial system has spent decades making spending feel rewarding.
We’re building the opposite.
With @ModernTreasury powering money movement across banking and stablecoin rails, Symphony rewards people for building their future without putting life on hold today.
For years, companies have optimized for getting consumers to spend more.
@Symphonyio is building a product that rewards them for saving.
That's why they chose Modern Treasury to power money movement across banking and stablecoin rails.

A reminder that some of life’s greatest returns come from the people we choose to build with.
One of many thoughtful conversations from Symphony’s launch event.

The future of saving won’t look like the past.
Saving shouldn’t mean delaying your life forever.
It should help grow your future while unlocking the travel, experiences, and memories that make life feel full.
